Argument #1: Transitional Fossils

[Minimalist]

True, Chuck. It's also a dead giveaway when they write "christian" under religious views.

Well, we should give awards proportional to achievement. Many are the christians whose idiocies are common, crude and earthly. In this one the idiocy has risen to be sublime and divine.

Could be done....

If this is argument 1 I'm really looking forward to what the next ones have to offer.



Seriously though, wouldn't you be embarrassed, even on an online forum, to post stuff that is so demonstrably wrong it makes other posters wonder if you even went to school?

If a kind or basic type of animal over a long period of time has evolved into a different kind of basic type of animal, then it is reasonable to expect a plethora of transitional forms in the fossil record. However, this is not the case, rather, the fossil record shows the original diversity of animal and plant forms.

Evolution models of the fossil record predict the following:
- wholesale transitions in organisms over time
- primitive forms evolving into complex forms
- gradual derivation of new organisms produced transitional forms

We do not find any of these to be true based on our fossil record.

Trilobites are an example of an organism appearing suddenly in the fossil record void of any evidence of transitions. Furthermore, trilobites have an organized complexity comparable to modern day invertebrates.

The facts remain, fossils have been discovered to suddenly appear in the record without transition. This is what would be expected from intelligent design not macroevolution.

For all the good it will do and as much as I hate linking to BioLogos here are some links talking about the very things you are concerned with here from a very Christian oriented source.

So now that it's taken literally seven seconds to rebut the first argument- not that I think Rev will actually acknowledge or understand that- anyone want to guess what the next six arguments will be?

I'm betting we'll get the argument from design, Kalam, and the watchmaker argument.

Or, wait... was this just about evolution?

I'm waiting with breathless anticipation for the Moondust argument, the DNA-as-language canard, and the Empty Tomb desperate straw.

Rev, serious question: how much research did you do before you posted this thread? What sources did you look at? Can you link to them here?

I'd bet that a pretty safe assumption, Min.
